A meaningful silence?

It's another cold, wet Monday morning in Seattle, and most of us here at Cargo Facts wish we were in Singapore where the big Airshow is about to start.

FAA Reauthorization bill -- impact on the air freight industry

Leaders in the US Senate and House of Representatives reached a compromise on several issues that have been blocking passage of legislation allowing continued operation of the country’s Federal Aviation Administration. That is long-awaited good news, and will open the door to progress on issues like the implementation of the Next Generation air traffic system. It will also impact on the air freight industry, as two of the major roadblocks on the road to the compromise were freight-related.The…See More
